The reaction of the announcer tells the story: "I'm not sure what that was. Good Lord."

What it was was a free throw attempt (and we're using the phrase "attempt" loosely) by Appalachian State reserve center Brian Okam Saturday in a game against Western Carolina.

Okam's shot was so disastrously off course it was labeled "WORST. FREE THROW. EVER." when it was posted on YouTube and, well, who could argue? The footage comes from TV62, Western Carolina's closed-circuit television station.

Western Carolina came back from a 10-point halftime deficit to beat Appalachian State 70-64 in the Southern Conference game.

In his three-year career (including his freshman year at Rutgers in 2009-10), Okam is a 55 percent free throw shooter (12-for-22).
